It's Coffee Break time! Hot Topic: Selling the President's Signature

Do you remember back in January 2009 when Cynthia Arnold wrote
a heartfelt letter to President Obama saying "please make our
troops one of your priorities."? She wrote the letter after receiving a call from her son, Matthew, a
soldier who had just arrived at Fort Hood in Texas and needed to know
who might make funeral arrangements if he died serving.

President Obama responded with a personal, handwritten letter and now Cynthia is now selling itto help her son transition to civilian life.

1. What do you think about Cynthia selling something so personal?

2. Would you buy something that was personalized to someone else?

3. If you received a personalized letter from a President of the U.S.A. would YOU ever consider selling it?

While you share your thoughts with us be sureyou let us know what you would like us to serve you!!

It saddens me how disabled veterans are treated. I feel they deserve so much more.

Here is a coffee for you.

Quoting MichelleMc:

I think it is totally up to the person. Like the president or not ( and I surely don't ), I don't see it as such a great thing. I would rather have her sons signature, the true celebrity.

I think it would depend. There are alot of old day things where it would be to someone else that would be neat, to me or not.

Sadly, Our veterans are not a priority to people now a days. They say so, but don't live so. If that is how she needs to get money to help her son deal with the change to civillian life, then so be it. No one understands how hard it is, til they actually have to do it themselves. Sadly our veterans are not cared for, add in those that don't retire out, they especially are not cared for AT ALL. My husband is a service connected disabled veteran. but most discounts or whatnots are ONLY for retirees or active. As if the 9 years he served didn't matter at all because it wasn't 20, which is a BUNCH OF BS.
